Daniel Steen lets us know that The Crow: Stairway to Heaven can be seen at the popular spot of 1:00am on Channel 9 or Win, if you're local, check it out!

The folks over at Action-Adventure Movies recently interviewed Wicked Prayer star Danny Trejo. Here is a part of the interview which speaks specifically to Wicked Prayer:

When will we see you act again?
There's a movie called The Crow coming out.

Wicked Prayer?
Yeah, I'm in Wicked Prayer. I play a Baptist Minister Indian chief. Fallen from grace. I'm actually a good guy in this, Baptist minister. He's the chief of the tribe that hates Eddie Furlong's character, The Crow. I scream at him, "How did God choose you?" And it's funny because he turns around and says, "Your daughter did." My daughter is Emmanuelle [Chriqui], his love interest.

So do you have a fight scene with him?
No, I'm a peace activist.

What is your costume?
I wear this feathery thing, it's really kind of cool. You gotta see it, it's a great movie. I think it's going to be the best of the three [previous films].

How is it better than the original?
The director, Lance [Mungia], he just did it. He went over the top, really awesome.

To see the whole interview, go to Action-Adventure Movies.

Thanks to Chuck for the heads up once again…..

Take care….

Via Superherohype, the Los Angeles Daily News has this to report:

Boreanaz cheers Furlong's 'Crow' comeback

We just might see a resurgence in the career of beleaguered actor Edward Furlong next year -- if his performance in the upcoming "The Crow: Wicked Prayer' is as strong as his fellow star in the feature, "Angel's' David Boreanaz, insists it is.

"He did a great job as the Crow. He's really a good actor. I was surprised,' says Boreanaz. He admits he wasn't sure what to expect from Furlong, the "Terminator 2' star, who in recent years became better known for his drug demons and party-boy escapades with the likes of ex- girlfriend Paris Hilton than for his acting. By the beginning of this year, however, reports had it that Furlong was truly cleaning up his act, staying off alcohol and illegal substances and looking healthier than he had in ages.

Boreanaz reports, "We raised the bar for each other and really had an amazing time getting into what we were doing. We got into each other's face. We're both very physical. I was surprised we didn't get hurt doing the fight scenes. There were a lot of bruises, though.'

The flick also features Tara Reid, plus Dennis Hopper as an underworld boss. "He's one of my icons. I really wanted to work with him,' says David. Boreanaz plays a fugitive ex-con murderer who is "basically a satanic cult member who turns into the Antichrist. He's a great character, and the writing has dimensions behind it.' Still, adds Boreanaz with a slight laugh, "I need to find a lighter role.'

James O'Barr will be appearing at Megacon March 5th to 7th, 2004. DragonFly Productions will be there with their fantastic Crow merchandise. Check out the update below:

Dragonfly will have a very limited Dance of the Dead Red Nights variant of the new mini-statue for the show! Limited edition of 100 pieces, this is painted in the blood red hues of some of James' most popular paintings, the best example can be seen at the back of the trade paperback. James will be doing a panel on the Crow at the show and will be available for commission sketches all 3 days. He will have original artwork on hand for sale. Go by the Dragonfly Productions booth and get your limited Con mini-statue signed and pick up an O'Barr original! Dragonfly will have sketchbooks, lunchboxes and The Return statues on hand and James will be signing your purchases on request!

This is some fantastic news and there is more! ABaHB will be working with DragonFly to run another contest to win copies of the new Dance Of The Dead mini-statue as well as other Crow merchandise. So be looking out for details on that contest as well as some more information on the Megacon show from us.

Nicolas Navarro sends this via Comics2Film about a new printing for The Crow: The Story Behind the Film in the UK with a new cover. Here's the story:

'Crow Story': Tells tale of the tragic comic book movie

"The Crow" is the ultimate cult movie, with a dedicated worldwide following, and two sequels, plus a fourth currently in production. Now, ten years after the original film's release, the full story of this seemingly cursed production can finally be told...

In "The Crow's" last days of filming, its star Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee) was killed in a strange on-set accident, while filming his character's death scene. Bridget Baiss describes the chain of events which led from O'Barr's creation of the graphic novel, up to this fateful day, and beyond, to the film's final, triumphant release.

This is the definitive account of "The Crow's" production and the phenomenon it became, packed with scores of interviews with the film's cast and crew.

"The Crow" is a true worldwide cult, spanning the classic graphic novel (also published by Titan), novels, three hit movies and a TV series.

Through vivid personal accounts, Baiss brings to light the inspired and often revolutionary filmmaking techniques that brought this darkly stylish film to the big screen.

The book goes on sale in the UK January 23rd, 2004 from Titan Books (£14.99 – Paperback).
